The video codec documentation mentions that the input data format is YUV. However, to be technically correct, the input data format is YCbCr. The terms YUV and YCbCr are used interchangeably in the video litterature (even if technically they are not the same). Since the YUV notation is more commonly used, it was decided to use it in the codec documentation.
